What color result can I expect from Deep Burgundy?
Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Creme shade 42, Deep Burgundy (Black Cherry), is our deepest burgundy shade in our classic Nutrisse range. It provides a deep, rich burgundy shade with 100% gray coverage.
Is this shade suitable for my natural hair color?
Deep Burgundy is best for anyone with natural hair between light brown and black. If you prefer a more intense reflection, you might check out our Ultra Color range, though those shades are not designed for 100% gray coverage.
Can I use this if my hair is already colored dark?
We do not recommend Nutrisse Ultra Creme shade 42 for hair that has been previously colored with any brand of dark brown or darker. As dark brown is deeper than shade 42, the results of shade 42 will not be visible, as hair color cannot predictably lighten previously colored hair.
How does this hair color nourish my hair?
The formula nourishes as it colors for hair that is 2x shinier and silkier vs. uncolored, unwashed hair. The kit comes with a fruit oil ampoule that you pour directly into the color mixture and an after-color conditioner infused with 5 responsibly-sourced oils: avocado, olive, coconut, argan and shea oils.
Is the application process difficult or messy?
No, our rich, non-drip hair color crème formula spreads easily through all hair for both the first-time user or the user that needs to retouch their roots. It also smells great while you apply it.

Minimal gray coverage
13 days ago
Gray coverage is minimal. Tried it twice. Will NOT be purchasing again. The formulation must have changed.
Be very careful in using this shade. The photo on the box shows hair color that is closest to my natural color. I bought this to even out my grey areas. Instead of this happening, it turned all of my hair a bright orange. Now I have to pay a professional lots of money to fix it.
I purchased 3 boxes of 61 - Light Extra Ash Brown, as they were on sale and I know Garnier is a Loreal company. I had used Nutrisse a few years ago, but the formula has definitely changed. The color fades gradually into a lighter color I cannot even describe & the gray coverage does not last. I was a Loreal Excellence Light Ash Brown customer prior and am going back to what worked.
If I could give -5 I would. Turned my roots orange .. I’m livid. It didn’t used to do this. My birthday is coming up. I’m so upset. #42 deep burgundy
No, I do not recommend this product.

Formula change without knowing!!!
a month ago
I loved this product the first time I tried it! I will post a picture of the first time, where my result was a beautiful dark reddish, purple. I just recently redid it with the same color and got a wildly different result of fiery red. Be warned.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This product has been my favorite hair dye since i was younger, every time we went to the store for hair dying purposes I’d look for Garnier! The after-wash makes my hair so soft and silky! I love how potent the hair dye is without having very harsh chemicals. I appreciate how much responsibility and care the company has for this product and i will continue using it for years to come!
Terrible!!!! Previously used the Garnier dark red brown and the medium red brown for over 10 years and received continuous compliments UNTIL Garnier discontinued the dark red brown and reformulated the medium rb Sangria which is NOW absolutely terrible!!
The crème does NOT mix evenly in the developer at all no matter even if you used an industrial paint mixer.
The color now produces orange brassy roots and ruins your hair. The Garnier team that made these changes need to be fired or just CLOSE shop NOW😢😡
Q: hi i have white hair naturally, and i color for deposit only. i currently use 12av mixed with a little 10n. it gives me a pretty very light pearl blonde. i am looking at 100 extra light blonde. would this be comparible to what i am used to
A: Hello, Thanks for reaching out! Because your bleached hair is highly porous and lack natural pigment, applying dark dye straight over them will likely cause the ends to absorb too much color, turn out patchy, or fade into a muddy green or gray. We would like to help! Please call Garnier @ 1-800-442-7643 Monday-Friday: 9:00 AM – 5:30 PM ET and provide case #46993788. We look forward to your call!
A: Hello, Thanks for reaching out! Garnier Nutrisse Hair Color is not 1:1 ratio. It is 1 part colorant1 ½ parts developer. Thanks for your interest in Garnier!

Q: if my hair is dyed to honey brown with hints of dark blonde making it brassy. would 61 light extra ash brown turn my hair colour to a light brown/brown?
A: Hello, Thanks for reaching out! Yes, you can apply #61 light ash brown over honey brown hair. The ash (cool) tones will help neutralize the warm, brassy, or yellow/orange undertones of your current honey brown hair, resulting in a cooler shade. Thanks for your interest in Garnier!

Q: I have been dying my hair red for a while. I just want to know how 61 Light extra ash brown would work on red hair?
A: Hi Spooky1226, Thanks for reaching out! Yes, a light ash brown hair color can neutralize unwanted red tones in color-treated hair, however if the red shade was darker it may not reduce enough of the red. To better assist you please call us @ Garnier 800-442-7643 M-F 9:00am - 5:30pm ET, and provide case @ 45875545. We look forward to your call!

Q: I have been using muttered brown crème #50 ..I like it but am 78 and wanto have a more ash color than so dark..what would recommend?
A: Hi Jams, We appreciate you reaching out to us about your recent purchase. Nutrisse #40 Dark Brown has a 20% Volume of Developer. We hope this helps! Thanks for reaching out!
A: Our products are tested to have at least a 3-year shelf life if unopened and stored at normal room temperature. During this time, they should retain their integrity and perform as expected. If your product looks and smells normal, it's likely still good to use. Some products, like sunscreens, may have an expiration date printed on them.
